  • My latest cargo bike.

    Haven’t ridden it with a load on yet but unloaded it rides a million times better than my last one (which I may revert into a cycle truck and try to sort the handling by building a fork from scratch for).

    2.8” rear tyres is just for the lols. It’s sitting at about 15psi and cornering with all the weight of the bike is sketchy af!

    Could get you some geo numbers from our Kemper Lorri if you need? Handles pretty well, handed or no-

  • Wouldn’t hurt I guess.

    I’m going to be kinda stuck with the geometry I modded the frame to which was a 69deg hta with a bmx fork (might be worth my checking what I actually ended up with as I took a somewhat freehand approach to the mods so might have deviated a bit from that).

    If I’m building the fork then it could be a bit longer or shorter but I doubt it’d change the hta by much more than a degree either way. I wouldn’t want to change fork length too much anyway as it’d start affecting the bb height and stuff too.

    I’ve seen it suggested that a zero rake fork should give a better trail number so might try that as well as cutting the rack back a bit.
